To opt-in, follow these simple steps on Friday:

3. Launch Windward like normal and have fun!*
[i]Note: this special branch will only become available once the event begins at 10 AM on May 17th, and although the game's release will feature Linux/OSX builds, this preview will only be available for Windows. The event will end on early morning of May 20th.[/i]
Since this early build of the game doesn't have a tutorial, a handy new player guide [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eN1x6cOCZsSv_7FbO2rQDl-xP32WjHdUOm0vqvqpha0/edit?usp=sharing]can be found here[/url].
You are also welcome to stop by the [url=http://discord.gg/tasharen]Tasharen Community discord server[/url] to discuss your experience!
See you there!

[b][i]P.S. I will be looking to expand my closed tester team after the event ends. At the very least, I'd like to add two people to it: a Linux gamer as well as an experienced modder. You can apply by messaging me directly in discord.[/i][/b]
